About

Mexican RestaurantCatererChicken RestaurantFast Food Restaurant
While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's delivery of fresh, authentic food has not. Everything starts with whole chickens that are slowly marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection the authentic way - on our signature open-flame grills - then hand cut into your favorite Mexican entrees. We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Tempe, AZ, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    Tried El Pollo Loco for the first time because Uber Eats had a buy-one-get-one deal. Ordered the queso guacamole chicken burrito, —no guacamole, —no salsa fresca. Total was $14.58 after tax (with discount), for two burritos. Each one came with chips plus one mild and one spicy salsa. Everything was sealed and packaged clean—no mess, no missing items. The burrito was good. Not mind-blowing, just solid. At regular price? Not worth it to me. With the buy-one-get-one offer it comes to $7.50 per burrito, and that’s the only reason I’d order again. Full stars for execution, but I’m only coming back when the deal makes sense. Alternative restaurants offer superior burritos at a more reasonable price.

    Wow. This location completely changes my perspective. Happy & healthy options. Unfortunately was not able to order food because of lack of employment therefore lack of funds. Have been harrassed and unemployed for a few years now. When I start working and recieving income again I will definitely visit this location for my lunch breaks. 🙌
